Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS) is a heterogeneous systemic disease. The abnormal responses to La/SSB and Ro/SSA of both B-cells and T-cells are implicated in the destruction of the epithelium of exocrine glands, whose tissue characteristically shows a peri-epithelial lymphocytic infiltration that can vary from sicca syndrome to systemic disease and lymphoma. Novel diagnostic laboratory techniques and image tools have emerged in recent years, allowing early diagnosis with better organic diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, in addition to commonly used therapies, a large amount of knowledge has emerged for treating SjS with novel biological therapies. The window of opportunity for clinicians and researchers is open to help to prevent organ damage in patients.
We invite you to participate in this Special Issue of JCM on Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS). As you certainly know, SjS is a chronic disorder that causes insufficient moisture production in certain glands of the body, including the saliva-producing and tear-producing glands. Glandular disease is largely common, but extraglandular organ damage can make it challenging for patients and their physicians. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for optimal management of SjS.
In this Special Issue titled “Sjögren’s Syndrome: An Update on Pathogenesis, Clinical Insights, and Treatment”, we welcome authors to submit original clinical or experimental studies with emphasis on Sjögren’s Syndrome.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Hèctor Corominas
Guest Editor
